seitsemänkymmenes

Seitsemänkymmenes is a Finnish word that translates to "seventy" in English. It is derived from the Finnish cardinal number system, which is based on a base-100 system. In this system, numbers are formed by combining smaller units with larger ones. For example, "seitsemänkymmenes" is composed of "seitsemän" (seven) and "kymmen" (ten), indicating seventy.

The word "seitsemänkymmenes" is used in various contexts in Finnish, including counting, timekeeping, and addressing. For instance, one might say "seitsemänkymmenes vuosi" (seventieth year) or "seitsemänkymmenes minuutti" (seventieth minute). In addressing, "seitsemänkymmenes" is used to indicate the order of individuals, such as in a queue or a list.

The Finnish language has a rich numerical system, with unique words for numbers up to 99. After that, numbers are typically expressed using combinations of these basic units. For example, "sata" (hundred) is used as a base, and larger numbers are formed by combining hundreds, tens, and units.
